What happens when a generation of readers that were raised on Twilight and Harry Potter grow up? The romantasy phenomenon is giving us a glimpse, and it's truly inescapable at the moment. Never has there been a time where romance and fantasy have collided so perfectly to take over best seller lists and our TBRs. Even though the term romantasy is still pretty new, the genre is already robust, so it can feel very overwhelming figuring out where to start. Don't worry, alongside the biggest readers in the Cosmopolitan office, we asked some of the biggest romantasy lovers out there to send us their favorite romantasy books you absolutely need to check out. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab "There are some books that definitely stay with you long after you closed it and this one is one of them. Set in present-day New York City, not only is the novel a love letter to the city and the places we've come, but it reminds us how lucky we are to be remembered." —Tamara Fuentes, Cosmopolitan Entertainment Editor A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas "These are books about kingdoms and magic and conquest but, at its core, the series is a love story—an extremely spicy one with tons of longing and flirty banter that culminates in swoon-worthy sex in *detail*. Don't let the faerie thing deter you—they're not just regular faeries, they're sexy faeries that you literally forget are faeries because they're hot muscle-y warrior monsters. Just trust me!!" —Veronica Lopez, Cosmopolitan Sex & Relationships Editor Quicksilver by Callie Hart "Hart has a fluid writing style that immediately draws you into her world and never lets you go. Her characters are relatable and complex and the found family aspect is wonderful. Plus, the chemistry between the two main characters is addictive! It's an enemies to lovers you don't want to miss!" —Jade Presley, author of 'The Never List' Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas "I love. these. books. I'm a former read-under-the-covers-til-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning middle schooler who really lost her love of reading in the following decade, and Throne of Glass was the series that brought me back to that type of book fervor. The way that Sarah J. Maas builds out this particular universe is something I haven't experienced since I read Harry Potter for the first time—it will sweep you off your feet and make you cry in the dark on an airplane. Lots of romance, lots of fun dialogue and banter, lots of twists and turns and fantasy elements that feel familiar enough to be comforting and unique enough that you'll compare every fantasy book you read after to Throne of Glass."
